The following list features every exclusive game releasing on PlayStation 5, including timed and console exclusives.
PlayStation 5 officially launches worldwide this holiday season. Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) has already revealed over two dozen games from both first-party and third-party developers. The final launch lineup though remains to be known. Sony should be confirming that once pre-orders go live but until then, the following list should help out in determining the PlayStation 5 library. Take note that the launch lineup has been split between three categories: first-party exclusives, second- or third-party console exclusives, and timed console exclusives. Most of the announced games remain without a release date, which should change once Sony confirms when PlayStation 5 will be launching. Take also note that the following PlayStation 5 lineup will be updated as new information becomes available. Following are the games that are exclusive to PlayStation 5. The alphabetically-arranged list does not include timed exclusives or cross-generation releases. Astro’s Playroom Developer: SIE Japan Studio Publisher: SIE Release: Q4 2020 Every PlayStation 5 console comes pre-loaded with a free copy of Astro’s Playroom, meaning that players can jump straight into the 3D platformer without having to download the game from PlayStation Network. Astro’s Playroom serves as a demo to highlight the technological feats of the new DualSense controller. Demon’s Souls Developer: Bluepoint Games Publisher: SIE Release: Unconfirmed Demon’s Souls is getting a complete remake nearly a decade after influencing an entire genre. The game remains without a release date, at least officially. Unofficially though, rating boards do suggest that Demon’s Souls is definitely one of the launch titles for PlayStation 5. Destruction AllStars Developer: Lucid Games Publisher: SIE Release: Unconfirmed Destruction AllStars combines the vehicular combat of Twisted Metal with the on-foot frantic combat of Fortnite. Destruction AllStars remains without a release date and is probably not a launch title for PlayStation 5. Gran Turismo 7 Developer: Polyphony Digital Publisher: SIE Release: Unconfirmed Gran Turismo 7 promises a next-generation racing simulation with new levels of enhanced immersion. The new racing installment continues to be touted as a launch title but presently remains without a release date. Horizon Forbidden West Developer: Guerrilla Games Publisher: SIE Release: 2021 Horizon Forbidden West sees the return of Aloy and her associates as they explore a new frontier of a post-apocalyptic America. The game will unfortunately join PlayStation 5 at launch. The sequel is slated for a release somewhere in 2021. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Developer: Insomniac Games Publisher: SIE Release: Unconfirmed Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is one of the few games to showcase the lightning-fast PlayStation 5 solid-state drive in real time. The platform-shooter hybrid can create portals on the fly to warp between entire worlds within mere seconds. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart remains without a release date and with Insomniac Games working on Spider-Man: Miles Morales as a confirmed launch title, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart might be a bit far off.
